    I purchased a new 2024 Mercedes Benz CLE 450 that came from the factory with Continental Pro Contact CX SSR MOE tires size 245/40/R19 tires on the front.

    The car has never experienced any road collisions or hazards of any kind. On February 1, 2026 the tires had approx. 8,000 miles on them, the passenger front tire exploded, with a loud bang, while sitting at a stop light. Replacement tire cost me $524.96. It ripped apart from where the tread meets the sidewall about half way around the tire. My dealership sent the tire to Continental and filed a claim. Around May 1st. Continental denied the claim without any explanation. I am attempting to contact them myself but am not holding my breath. I have seen other reviews and pictures complaining about the exact same issue. Don't know why a class action suit has not begun yet. The consumer is left to deal with a huge company that couldn't care less.

      I purchased new Continental tires from my BMW dealer in December. In just 3500 miles of interstate driving both front tires have developed bulges. I took the car/tires back to the dealer for replacement and am being told by Continental that it will take up to six weeks for them to process a warranty claim. These are a premium product but the level of customer support is abysmal. Bottom line, skip the Continental tires.

      Hello, My name is Essie **. I am writing because I purchased Continental ProContact GX SSR Run Flat tires for $ 1,992.00 on December 6, 2025. On April 21, 2026, I got a FLAT TIRE. This is not the first time I have had Run Flat tires. When I purchased my vehicle, they had Run Flat tires on them. I had nails, screws, and everything else in those tires and not once did they go FLAT. I came outside on the morning of April 21, 2026 and my tire was flat!!! Just like any ordinary tire!!! I called Mavis Tires in Brookhaven, PA, where I had the tires installed and they said, "We don't make the tires." So here I am writing you!!! I am Pissed and Disappointed because these tires are FAKE or SUBPAR!! This is my first and last purchase of Continental Tires!!!! Never Again!!!!

      Don't buy Continental tires. They don't stand by their warranties. Less than 1 year old. Done with alignment 50k warranty at 25k miles driven.

      Their customer service is horribly awful. Almost had a blowout on a road trip (was lucky to have found it--tires are only 8 months old). Had to replace with non-Continental tires due to being in the middle of nowhere and lack of options. They told me the warranty could not be honored since I replaced it with non-Continental tires and I would receive no monetary refund.

      I asked to speak to a manager, which they refused. Got a call back later that day saying to have Discount Tire Company inspect the tire, implying that they would go forward with it. Got it inspected, and Continental told me they never had any intention on honoring the warranty since I replaced it with non-Continental tires (even though I had no choice in the matter). Oh, and the wear on the tire was too high, even though we've had one small road trip on it and only had it for 8 months? So they led me on, and wasted hours of my time. They do not back up their product, and their customer service is horrible.

      We have had 2 bad/faulty tires from this company within the past year. Both tires split at the inner seam of the tire. I called the company, and they were absolutely no help. They said that they are not responsible, and the warranty was not valid if I replaced it with a different brand??? Why would I put another defective tire on my vehicle?? This company is horrible in all ways it can be!!

      I just bought 2 Continental garbage tires. After driving less than one mile they were so noisy. I went back to the dealer who sold me the tires and returned them. They were so noisy I couldn't listen to the radio without the sound being up full blast. I got a refund but they charged me for the labor. Pissed me off. They are junk.

      Blowout on the beltway... no thanks. I learned too late that this is a pervasive issue - although I have to say that I am confident in absolutely no manufacturer of anything anymore. There is no QC, no accountability and no human to address any issues to - not that anyone would care once they have your money.

      I have a Genesis G80 which came equipped with Continental Pro Contact tires. I've had nothing but trouble with them. In the past 4 years, I'd had two blowouts in 2024 and 2025. In January of this year, the left front tire developed a bulge in the tire one month after the tire hazard warranty expired. I wrote a letter, but the company never responded. These tires were expensive almost $800 a tire. Save your money and buy two sets of offshore tires for less.
